HANG CLEANING SUPPLIES

"Cooling racks are great for organizing under kitchen and bathroom sinks," Bethany said.

Simply stick some Command hooks – or the Dollar Tree alternative – to the door of a kitchen cabinet and hang your cooling rack.

Hang on anything with a handle, like Windex, bleach spray, or a scrubber brush.

For even more room to hang supplies, zip-tie a second cooling rack to the bottom of the first and hang the top from a pair of screws in the wall.

CREATE A CRAFTING STATION

Bethany said that there are plenty of other items at Dollar Tree that hang nicely from the cooling racks, like organizational trays that can be added with zip ties.

Demonstrating, she filled her trays with markers, pencils, and paint for a crafting station.

GET MORE BATHROOM STORAGE

"You can buy baskets from Dollar Tree and zip-tie those to the cooling racks. This is another way to store different items," she said.

Once the baskets are secured to the racks, attach the racks to hooks at the bottom of an over-the-door towel rack.

MAKE A KITCHEN DISPLAY

This hack takes a bit more work. Bethany showed how she glued pieces of wood together to make a frame, which is stapled around the outside of a pair of cooling racks.

Once it's put up on the wall, she hangs mugs from S hooks on the racks, making for a surprisingly upscale kitchen display.

UPGRADE YOUR GARDEN

For an outdoor spruce-up, several cooling racks can be zip-tied together in a long row.

Bethany threads artificial flowers and plants throughout, then hooks the entire setup to the side of her house for a sort of budget horizontal trellis.

ORGANIZE YOUR MAKEUP

Perhaps the easiest trick at all, this one only requires setting a cooling rack on four blocks inside a drawer.

Makeup items can be stored in each slot, so everything – palettes, blush, bronzer, lipstick – is separated and can be seen all at once.

"This is an amazing hack for keeping the makeup inside of your drawers organized. And it holds a lot of makeup," Bethany said.

BUILD A STORAGE BLOCK

For the big spender, this trick requires six cooling racks.

In her video, Bethany offered step-by-step instructions to fasten them together to make a storage cube.

Multiple cubes can be set up side by side or stacked on top of one another, and each one can hold its own fabric storage bin.can also stack on top of one another.
